A suggestion to forum administrators/GMs
There are certain things that many of new forum users are puzzled about. It would be very helpful for them if there would be some guides about those things made and set as sticky topic in New Recruits forum section.
The biggest problem for new users are forum pictures AKA Avatars. There are a lot of questions how to do it, even if there are many of guides written.
If you would create a guide, how to do it step by step with pictures and make it sticky topic (so it wont dissapear after new topics are created) it would help them a lot.
Also i think you could make a guide how to use Search button and how to use wiki (basic searching for stuff etc.) There are lot of questions that could be answered with just one wiki search or by searching old topic with same problem but many people dont know how to do it.
These are just few things that would need some guides sticked in new recruits section, i dont think about anything else that would be helpful.
Step 1: Get Rid of Current Forum & use one that Allows Users to Upload their Own Avatars. Built-In Profile Section to allow Posting of Comments, Viewing Previous Posts, View Character/Inventory. Add a Report/Graveyard Vote Button to every Thread to get rid of Un-Wanted Spam Threads.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Less Questions!!!
